Cordova inAppBrowser plugin issue in ios and blackberry

I am developing cordova application for BB10,android,iod,windows8.

within that i have requirement of opening url in default device browser.

for that i had used org.apache.cordova.inappbrowser plugin.

but after using that i came across problem of relaunching application once i back from browser. [problem in all platform except windows8]

so that i had used below solution,

jQuery(document).delegate('.external', 'click', function(e) {
        window.open(e.target.href, '_system', 'location=yes');
        e.preventDefault();
});

<a class="external" href="myUrl">Track Now</a>

with above solution, Android: it was working fine. Blackberry10 problem: Url is not opened in external browser it is only opened in app browser, IOS Problem: url is not working at all(when i click on link nothing happened).

So, any help from your side is really appreciated.

Yeah below is the solution for my case. And its working fine in all android, BlackBerry10 and IOS platform.

resolving blackberry issue by adding blackberry invoke plugin.

function openBlackBerryBrowser(url) {
            function onInvokeSuccess() {
                alert("Invocation successful!");
            }
            function onInvokeError(error) {
                alert("Invocation failed, error: " + error);
            }
            blackberry.invoke.invoke({
                target: "sys.browser",
                uri: url
            }, onInvokeSuccess, onInvokeError);
    }
    if (window.device.platform.toLowerCase().indexOf('blackberry') > -1) {        
        jQuery(document).delegate('.external', 'click', function(e) {
            openBlackBerryBrowser(e.target.href);
        });
    } else {        
        jQuery(document).delegate('.external', 'click', function(e) {
            e.preventDefault();
            var ref = window.open(e.target.href, '_system', 'location=yes');
        });
    }

Hope this will help someone.

In my opinion is not necessary the use of jquery to do this. You could try something like this, but I tested only on Android and iOS:

In your controller:

$scope.openLink = function(url){
   window.open(url, '_system');
};

html:

<a href="#" ng-click="openLink('http://www.google.com')">www.google.com</a>

Let me know if works also on BB!
